ST. LOUIS CARDINALS NEWS

Keynan Middleton - Placed on IL The Cardinals placed Middleton on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with a right forearm strain, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

Impact Middleton has been shut down from throwing since March 16, and although he's slated to begin his throwing progression soon, his absence will officially extend into the regular season. An exact timetable for the right-hander's return is unclear, but a better picture should emerge as he gets further along in his recovery process.

Victor Scott - Could be needed with Carlson out Scott is a candidate to join the major-league roster in the wake of Dylan Carlson's (shoulder) injury, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Impact Carlson injured his left shoulder and also banged up his hip and ankle during a collision in the outfield with teammate Jordan Walker on Monday. The seriousness of Carlson's injury isn't known yet, but if he needs to miss time it would further deplete a Cardinals outfield that's already missing Tommy Edman (wrist) and Lars Nootbaar (ribs). It could create an opening for Scott, who was reassigned to minor-league camp over the weekend following an impressive showing this spring. Scott is a worthy speculative late-round fantasy target or waiver-wire add.

Dylan Carlson - Dealing with left shoulder injury Carlson left Monday's exhibition game versus the Cubs due to a left shoulder injury, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

Impact Carlson left Monday's contest after colliding with Jordan Walker in the outfield, in which the former landed hard on his left arm. Carlson left the field with trainers, and the severity of the injury has yet to be determined. If the injury is severe enough for Carlson to miss the beginning of the regular season, Mike Siani could see some starts in center field, as Tommy Edman (wrist) and Lars Nootbaar (ribs) are also out.

Dylan Carlson - Exits game after outfield collision Carlson was removed from Monday's exhibition game versus the Cubs following a collision in the outfield with Jordan Walker, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Impact Carlson had his legs taken out from under him by Walker and appeared to land awkwardly on his left arm. He then walked off the field with a trainer and is surely headed for testing. Carlson had been slated to be the Cardinals' center fielder while Tommy Edman (wrist) is out, but this could throw a wrench into those plans. It's possible Victor Scott could be back on the radar.

Sonny Gray - Pitching in MiLB game Thursday Gray (hamstring) is scheduled to pitch in another minor-league game Thursday, Lynn Worthy of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Impact The Cardinals recently announced Gray will begin the season on the injury list, but he'll continue ramping up his throwing in minor-league action. The veteran right-hander could join St. Louis when first eligible during the second week of April.

John King - Won't pitch Saturday King will not pitch in Saturday's Grapefruit League game against the Nationals due to an illness, Lynn Worthy of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Impact The 29-year-old lefty should return to the mound once he's recovered from his illness. After giving up seven runs on 14 hits and six walks over his first six spring training games, King has not allowed a run over his last three appearances.

Victor Scott - Moves to minors camp The Cardinals reassigned Scott to minor-league camp Saturday.

Impact Scott entered camp with a very low chance of making the Opening Day roster after finishing last season in Double-A. However, he showed plenty of promise with a .316 batting average and four stolen bases over 10 games this spring. The speedy 23-year-old will likely open the season in Triple-A Memphis.

Alfonso Rivas - Sent to minors The Cardinals optioned Rivas to Triple-A Memphis on Saturday.

Impact Rivas only managed seven hits in 36 at-bats during his first spring with the Cards while driving in three RBI and scoring six runs. The 27-year-old also only carried a .229 batting average across 48 major-league games last season, but his average jumped up to .332 over 58 games in Triple-A.

Zack Thompson - Taking Gray's rotation spot Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol announced Friday that Thompson will be a member of the club's season-opening rotation, Lynn Worthy of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Impact Veteran Sonny Gray (hamstring) will begin the season on the injured list, opening the door for Thompson to earn a rotation spot. Thompson pitched well during spring training with a 2.81 ERA across 16 innings, and he'll likely only have a few starts to stake his claim to the rotation spot since Gray isn't expected to have a lengthy absence.

Sonny Gray - Could make start on first road trip Gray (hamstring) could make his season debut during the Cardinals' March 28-April 3 road trip, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

Impact Gray will pitch two innings in a minor-league game Friday and the Cards could have a better idea as to a potential timetable for the right-hander after that. While his hamstring injury will prevent him from being ready Opening Day, Gray could avoid a stint on the injured list and make a start within the first week.
